Starting next month, Crane R-III school district will host a three part stress management workshop. This is a free event open to the entire community, regardless of whether you live in Crane or have children at all. To sign up for the classes, RSVP to the school at (417) 723-5300 by November 5.
Crane is offering the stress management workshop starting next month. The three part course will be held on Thursday, November 7, Tuesday, November 19 and Thursday, December 5 at the school. Dinner is served at 6 p.m., and the course will start at 6:30 p.m., lasting until 8 p.m. on each of the three nights.
Superintendent Dr. Chris Johnson says the school is offering this opportunity after they were selected as part of Silver Dollar City Foundation group. “Our school is one of the schools chosen by the Silver Dollar City Foundation to participate in the Family Project. Part of that participation is taking grant money to provide something that would help our families in our community.”
The stress management class is being taught by Dr. Meyers, a retired Missouri State professor. Dr. Meyers will also help teach three other courses as part of the Family Project.
The stress management class will help participants learn how to identify and manage stress in their life. “If stress in a person’s life and at home is reduced, it helps our students... and helps model to them so they can learn how to deal with stress,” said Dr. Johnson.
A free dinner and free child care are available to all participants of the stress management course. There will also be drawings for gift cards each night. Participants who complete all three parts will have the opportunity to drop their kids off at school from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. for a parent night. This parent night is designed to give parents time to do some Christmas shopping/wrapping or even just give them a night alone to catch up and relax.
The other three courses the school will offer into the spring of 2020 will cover communication, budgeting and love and relationships. “We feel this is important because all four sessions cover something that everyone can learn from. Mental health is such an important part of our lives right now,” said Dr. Johnson.
Additionally, the school is excited to offer these courses in town. “We have talked in the past about how we believe there is a need for help for parents and individuals in the community to have courses in town and not have to drive somewhere else for it,” said Dr. Johnson.
To register for the free stress management course, call the school by Monday, November 5, at (417) 723-5300.
According to the Silver Dollar City Foundation, the Family Project is a “partnership between schools, churches, and ministries in our two-county area who are all working together to take a proactive approach to address the ‘breakdown of the family’.”
The project seeks to alleviate the symptoms of poverty and brokenness and strengthen families throughout Stone and Taney counties.
The project works to “unite and empower schools, churches, and parents to present a clear and consistent message that promotes, encourages, and equips healthy families,” according to the Family Project website.
